'''function IndexOfName(Name: string): Integer'''
Name: name to be searched
Result: -1 if not found, index of found name otherwise

==Description==
[[TStringList.IndexOfName|IndexOfName]] searches in the list of strings for a name-value pair with name part ''Name''. If such a pair is found, it returns the index of the pair in the stringlist. If no such pair is found, the function returns -1. <br>
The search is done case-insensitive.

==Example==
<syntaxhighlight lang="pascal">
var
s: TStringList;

begin
s := File.CreateStringList();
s.Append('a=1');
s.Append('b=2');
s.Append('c=3');
s.Append('d=4');
s.Append('e=5');

WriteLn(s.Strings[1]); // b=2
WriteLn(s.Names[1]); // b
WriteLn(s.Values[s.Names[1]]); // 2

s.Free;
end.
